Dealer Notes

Stacton’s fourth published novel, and the first in The Invincible Questions Triptych, it features Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886), the Swan King or Fairy Tale King. Stacton observed: 'King Ludwig has fascinated me ever since I was a child, yet fascination is not quite the right word. Fellow-feeling would be the proper phrase...' (Faber). In 1963 Stacton was named one of Time’s 10 best US novelists of the past decade. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Bud Clifton and Carse Boyd.
